I hate the cup holders as well. If they hadn't at least had the crappy ones they have I wouldn't have even bought the car. Having my coffee on the way to the office in the morning while I commute is just too important to me.

I agree and loved the ones on my E65. They had nice metal sliding covers when not in use and held cups great...never a spill. I liked the drawered compartments for storage better also but everything else is better.
